Basting with Elmer's Washable School Glue
#52
I was told you can put half water and half glue in a spray bottle and then add 5 drops of liquid dish soap, then swirl the dish soap into the water and glue with the straw attached to the nozzle and spray it on. I will be trying this as soon as I get an empty bottle. Remembering to rinse out the straw and nozzle after each use. Sounds like a win/win soultion to me. Let me know if you try it out before I do

What does the dish soap do?
I had a 15 inch sq to sandwich for a test piece and used a glue stick on the backing put down the bat and then used my spray
i just smoothed the lumps with my finger worked great

I have done 4 queen or king size quilts using the above method. Yes, I could feel and see the dried glue when I FMQ but if dry there was no trouble sewing, I tried to do a quick applique the other night of a star on a tree and I didn't iron it well enough and the glue did gum up my needle slightly. It has to be dry for the best results. I did let my larger quilts dry overnight and had no trouble.
